This was one of my most difficult teaching messages in the nearly 40 years I have been teaching (this is year-2022). Why? Because I have great fear of reverence regarding the warning of others about other ministers/ministries that are based upon false foundations and false teaching. I'm small potatoes compared to the outreach of most of these other ministries but I'm happy in whatever capacity God wants my ministry to reach. My goal-only, is to bless as many people as I can and be pleasing to God. I do not in any means want to be a divider within the Boby of Christ (His Church), so my purpose in teaching about how ministries should be judged by God's Word (the Holy Bible), is to possibly contribute to the deliverance of deceived people.
For everything God does in his true, righteousness and holiness, Satan has a counterfeit. Sometimes the false has a strong draw, due to promises within it that do not line up with what God tell us to see as his blessings. We should see him and his holiness by walking with his son Jesus Christ, at salvation (being born again in him) and after salvation, throughout our natural lives, based on His Word. In eternity, this will become our supernatural walk, completely and without the struggles we now have. Do we need the added struggle of false ministry in our current natural lives, which in some cases, actually can keep us from entering into true relationship with God, through His Son? We certainly DO NOT!
The apostle Paul said: "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:6-9 KJV
ALSO IMPORTANT: "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but ONE GOD, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." -
1 Corinthians 8: 5-6 KJV
I am a graduate of Liberty University (1996) for completion of theological studies (33 college credits) and I completed "Bible Survey" with Assemblies of God - Berean College. I consider myself a "Bapticostal" (a Baptist also having Pentecostal beliefs). Bible studies are one of my most-covered book subjects. I am, however, careful to only address those subjects I believe God has given me correct revelation on. I was a Christian Youth Minister, beginning in 1983 for approximately 18 years. During, between and after youth ministries I served in other church capacities as well, including interim pastoring and retirement home ministry. MOST IMPOTANTLY, I am a redeemed man, who has received salvation by acceptance of Jesus Christ.
